This sounds like something off of 'The Day Today' or 'Brass Eye'!

Can we please get the bloke's name right FFS!

I'm very much looking forward to him. Think his style of play will be a breath of fresh air.

S****horpe 0-2 Bristol City He can't even win as Scunny manager FFS

Lol, I'm not sure if you're joking or not, but either way it's funny.

Just listened again and I don't think it could be much clearer that he wants to come here. The amount of times he praised us, the club, the stadium, the fans, the history, he sounded like he loves us.

He's dying to become our manager IMO

'ONE OF the most incredible day's in the history of S****horpe United appears to be finally drawing to a close after Iron boss Nigel Adkins held a sensational press conference to confirm that he DOES still intend to become the new manager of Southampton.'

**** off

We're pooooooooorr

A blast from the past to add to the laughs!

Which bookies took a five grand bet?

Come on then ITKers, what the f*ck is going on? This is beyond a joke now.

This. He's a clown.

Paul Merton certainly seems to think so http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/rogerb/jokes/HIGNFY.txt

Keegan and Shearer- great. Just Shearer- meh.

£5000?! They must be confident!

How does it not make sense? He could succeed just like any other manager. He's done brilliantly at S****horpe, hence why he has been touted for numerous vacant managers jobs in the Championship in the last year, and as such, if we want him we're going to have to pay for him.

The odds still don't necessarily mean anything, even if they've gone to 1/20 or been taken off. Just means a lot of people have put money on him, doesn't mean they're ITK.

The cheap option would be getting an out of work manager, not taking a manager from the league above, having to pay compensation to his current club and probably significantly increase his wages.

Exactly, I'll be pleased if we appoint him.

Cesena's manager, Guly on loan from Cesena, someone looks up the name of their manager and makes up a rumour.

Plus generally regarded as 'midweek'- when our agent friend said the announcement would be.

Yes we may be lacking young 'nurtured' players, but Illingsworth's point is that Adkins would be incapable of managing here because we don't have enough young players, which is moronic. If he wants to say we need more young nurtured players in the squad, fine, but there's no way he can use that against Adkins. If anything his appointment and previous experience with youngsters is likely to improve the amount of youngsters in the first team.

Heard that last week so could be right.
